Light Bulb Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the difference between compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs and traditional incandescent bulbs.
Blue Sky
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, learners explore why the sky is blue and the sunset is red, using a simple setup comprising a transparent plastic box, water, and powdered milk.
Friction Racing
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the unseen force of friction and how surfaces can slow moving objects at different rates.
The Dead Zone: A Marine Horror Story
Source Institutions
In this environmental science and data analysis activity, learners work in groups to track a Dead Zone (decreased dissolved oxygen content of a body of water) using water quality data from the Nutrien
Biotech in a Bag
Source Institutions
In a series of three experiments, learners explore the basics of biotechnology using self-locking plastic baggies. Each experiment demonstrates a phenomenon or principle of biotechnology.
Without An Ark: The Effects of Storms and Floods
Source Institutions
April showers bring May flowers, but what do coastal storms bring?
Choose Your Ooze
Source Institutions
During this activity, learners will make different versions of "ooze" using varied proportions of detergent and glue.
Water Rocket Launch
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore rocketry and the principals of space flight.
Exploring Ramps
Source Institutions
This guide features three related ramp explorations in which learners investigate the following science concepts: when placed on a ramp, some objects roll, others slide, and others stay put; the shape
Running on Empty
Source Institutions
In this exercise and nutrition activity, learners will explore how food is the fuel that powers them. They will create a chart to figure out how many calories they burn during recess.
How can You Demonstrate the Efficiency of Different Light Bulbs?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners actually feel the difference in energy required to light two different types of light bulbs: incandescent light and LEDs.
Sort It Out!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers have developed sorting systems which integrate into manufacturing and packaging processes. Learners explore how coins are made.
What Do You Know About Microbes?
Source Institutions
This is a series of quick activities/demos and pre-assessment tools that evaluate learners' current understanding of microbes and introduce them to basic information about microbes.
Catapult
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build mini catapults using paint paddles and a spoon. Use this activity to introduce learners to forces and projectile motion.
Bernoulli and More Bernoulli
Source Institutions
This lesson guide includes six simple and quick activities to help learners better understand Bernoulli's Principle.
Paper Table
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners use tubes of newspaper to make a table that’s at least eight inches tall and strong enough to hold a heavy book!
Wind Tube
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore moving air and the physics of lift and drag by constructing homemade wind tunnels.
The Parachuting Egg
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in groups to design a parachute out of household items that keeps an egg secure when dropped from a certain height.
Energy Sources
Source Institutions
In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 5 of PDF), learners conduct an experiment to compare how much energy is released as heat from two different foods.
Pollution Diffusion
Source Institutions
Learners design their own experiment to investigate how pollution diffuses through ground material.
